Field Watch
Five August EMDR field signals need quick, bounded reads
Scholarship deadlines, agency-funding terms, Germany’s PTSD guideline update, and an Italian implementation survey are moving now; each item needs source-level boundaries, not shorthand claims.
Field Signals
Organizations, access, policy, events, and field movement
Source-led developments across the EMDR field: organizations, access, policy, events, and public-world movement.
